Is this really classified as a cool classic car now? (Or even just a classic car? )

bolidemichael said:

I would say so. Very rare when new, incredibly rare now.
Fast and discrete before AMGs became all shouty. It’s cool and it’s a modern classic. (A youngtimer as they say in Germany).

I’d class anything over 20 years old as a classic car.

Even more rare that it has not been ravaged with rust - good to see one looking so clean

Belongs to a mate. Utterly gorgeous car with a stunning fresh paint job

[yellowjack]

Looks like a reasonably well cared for daily/regular driver.




This pair were looking very much unloved, the Minor is riddled with tin worm, and the Royce appears to consist of more filler than original metal panels.

That's a 190, so a W201 not a W124 but it is lovely - they still look elegent

That Rolls above looks like it's been washed with a brillo pad - and those front arches! I predict a bad respray in white and a life doing low budget weddings

Isn't that a 124 with 201 alloys?

No. The vent in the c pillar gives it away.

Of course it is -- I conflated my 124
(E class) with 201 (C class). My mitigation is wine and sunday evening.

Sort of although W201 was always a 190 of some description, W202 was the first C Class.

On a different note I saw this today at the Mini factory PHSS.

Love those Ford Escort RS2000 cars, although I've owned 5 of those, 3 in yellow and 2 in red/orange, I still get that same feel in my gut when I see them... no idea why

btw I never knew that those came in so many colors, from at the time I only saw some red and red with black vinyl roof and orange/red and yellow and yellow with vinyl roof and white and white with vinyl roof and black, other variants I've never seen

They had a great range of colours with the exception of the beige. Signal Yellow would be my preference.

Is the yellow car a GTM Libra?

[hiccy18]

Lambo 350GT has to be a rare spot surely?

I'd say not a Ford colour.
